The ′Natural Leaders′ and their World – Politics, Culture and Society in Belfast, c. 1801 – 1832

Autor Jonathan Jeffre Wright
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 2 ian 2013
A richly detailed exploration of the complex urban culture of the Presbyterian elite in late-Georgian Belfast, The ‘Natural Leaders’ and their World offers a major reassessment of the political life of Belfast in the early nineteenth century. Examining the activities of a close-knit group of individuals who sought to reform British and European politics, Jonathan Wright addresses topics such as romanticism, evangelicalism, and altruism, with a look at writers such as Lord Byron, Walter Scott, Robert Owen, and Thomas Chalmers. In doing so, he tells the story of a Presbyterian middle class and the complex entanglement of their political, cultural, and intellectual lives.
